Description
Holotype. Male (IZCAS-Ar42691Fo). Late Cretaceous amber from Hukawng Valley. Syninclusion includes one mite.
Etymology. The species name is a popular Burmese boy’s name and means “plenty, plentiful”; noun in apposition.
Diagnosis. The new species can be distinguished from all other Priscaleclercera species by the palp’s shape. In the new species, sclerites 1 and 2 are both sclerotized and attached to the base of the oval bulb; sclerite 1 is separated from sclerite 2; sclerite 3 is different from those on all other Priscaleclercera species, composed of a sclerotized structure and a complex membranous structure.
